Derek Jeter apparently wanted to avoid an awkward “love triangle” exchange between David Ortiz and the Mets after Friday's Game 5, but two days later, before the NLCS resumed in Los Angeles, former Yankees The shortstop used this description. He jokingly described his partner at the Taylor Swift concert during the pre-game show.
When Matt Vasgersian, who replaced Kevin Burkhardt as host for FOX Sports, asked Jeter what he was doing in the off time between Games 5 and 6, Jeter said he was in Miami.
“I took my daughters to a Taylor Swift concert,” Jeter replied, referring to her show at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday. “I've had the opportunity to play with a lot of teenagers and young children. It's very similar to what I do here at Fox.”
Jeter's jab caused laughter from Ortiz and Alex Rodriguez on the set.
But after Friday's game, in which the Mets won 12-6 to further extend their season, Jeter left the set during an awkward moment in the postgame show.
When Ortiz invited Mrs. Mett to the set and Mr. Mett followed suit, he said: I just made it up and everything is shareable. ”
“Is this a love triangle?” Burckhardt shot back. “I think this is a show on another network.”
Meanwhile, Jeter got up from his seat and left the set without saying anything, but the exchange between Ortiz and Mr. and Mrs. Met continued.

Three analysts were in Los Angeles on Sunday for Game 6 of the NL CS, as the Mets need a win to continue their season.
However, if the Dodgers can escape with a win against the bullpen, they will face the Yankees in the World Series, with Game 1 to be played on Friday.
The Mets took the lead in the first inning with a walk by Francisco Lindor, advanced to second base, and scored when Pete Alonso's ball near second base prompted an errant throw from Chris Taylor.
However, the Dodgers took the lead at the bottom of the frame as Tommy Edman continued his postseason scoring streak and Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernandez scored.
